Photo Quality

Previously, we compressed the photos you were uploading and stored them in a 'carousel' for easy viewing. This helped us manage bandwidth and storage issues - but it meant that you couldn't enlarge or download your photos.
​
This made it difficult to read small numbers or see fine details.....so we fixed it!


Simply click on the 'Enlarge' text underneath the carousel and view your photo in full-screen. Other than that - the functionality is exactly the same as before. We still compress the photo - so you can't upload a 50 MB panoramic photo of the Susquehanna River; but we think you'll be happy with the quality.

Municipal Plan Reviews - Automagically!

If we're currently working as your engineer-of-record, guess what? Any time we perform a plan review (subdivision, land development plan, etc) - a point will automatically appear in CSDatum under the Municipal/Plan Review layer at the location of the activity!
​


As our engineer moves through the review process, they'll fill in the submission/approval dates, add PDF's of the plans, etc - so all that information is sitting at your fingertips when you need it in 10 years.
​

Not one of our engineering clients? Fret not - you can use these features too. Any subscriber is free to enter their own data - or we can import your existing drawings or shapefiles. Here's what some of the plan review screen looks like:

Questions? We want to hear them!
